Singles Round Up - March 24th, 2023

Nikki Oniyome - Understimated [Ambient Rmx] (Metronomicon)

Loving this remix of Nikki Oniyome. The original track dropped 4 years ago with the vocal dropped over a simple old school hip hop beat but this remix has taken the affecting vocal to a next level, cosmic ambient dimension and deserves your love.
It looks like I launched the Ambient Pop Playlist jus in time.

Scrimshire & Nat Birchall - Unforgotten, Unforgiven (Albert's Favourites)

Vertical Divider

A poignant slice of spiritual jazz from Scrimshire & Birchall - a couple of my favourite UK jazzers. Shocked, as most right thinking people are, by the UK's increasingly inhumane immigration policy this is a moving tribute to all the people escaping horrors & hardship by attempting hazardous boat crossings to greener pastures. If that wasn't enough the artwork depicts two people laden boats - one still upright & the other capsized. Let that sink in for a moment.
You can currently find this track in the Slow Jazz Playlist.

Helioé - Aube (Self Release)

If this fauna field recording filled new age ambient tune from Helioé is anything to go by then Tasmania is a place of unspoilt wonder. Thankfully his keyboard duet with the natural world  treads suitably lightly, as what is more wonderful than nature? Excitingly he also drops his debut LP next month.
Until then find him in the New Age of New Age playlist.

Night Gestalt - False Azure (Bigo & Twigetti)

Vertical Divider

Living in southern Europe I take the abundant light for granted, even on grey Spring days like today. In Sweden there is no such complacency as highlighted by Night Gestalt's new single & forthcoming LP which started life in the Spring & musically tracks the lengthening of the days until the summer solstice. He even relented on his no more piano LP vow, albeit by bastardising the sounds to barely recognisable shadows, & reassembling them to lilting, hypnotic effect.
Head to the Slow Neoclassical list for this & much more.

ceratone - Ultraviolet (Self Release)

Nothing sonically new to report here, but that's just fine as CERATONE wraps his cosmic electronica and perfectly affected vocal snippets around some perfectly programmed, percussion-lite glitchy broken beats to imbue you with yogic flying ability; much to the amazement I'm guessing of the other people in the supermarket.
Find him currently lighting up the Slowtronic Playlist
